3CMA Event June 16-17, 2005 in Blooomington

City-County Communications and Marketing Association (3CMA) is hosting their regional conference June 16-17, 2005 in Bloomington. 3CMA's mission is: "Connecting local government innovators to achieve the highest ideals of public service through the power of communications and marketing." The organization continues to build its network of individuals committed to improving government/citizen relationships and the delivery of services through the application of marketing strategies and techniques.

Event Topics include:

"Making News" panel, presentation and individual tapings

Shopping for Content Management Systems & Site Usability Studies - Content Management Systems (CMS) can help keep content fresh and Web site management simple. But can you tell a CMS deal from a dud? And how do you know if your site provides good customer service or just a glitzy showroom? Web site Usability Studies can provide the customer feedback you desire.

Sponsorships and the Public Sector - Learn from cities with experience

Becoming a "Savvy" Shopper - Learn how you, too, can take home a Savvy award from the 3CMA annual conference! You’ll leave this session with a bag full of ideas on how to position your communications projects to compete for awards at the national level. Topics will include: application process, benefits of winning (for window shoppers too) and how to maximize the impact of winning for your organization.

"Packaging Your City or County or Schools" - Branding a place is in some ways more difficult than branding a product. It's a powerful way to give your city, county or schools an identity that will stick. Hear how one city turned to branding experts from General Mills to create a memorable brand.

"The Price of Government" - Tim Penny, Keynote Speaker - Is the price of government really going up? Budgeting for outcomes; and price-results are just a couple of themes covered in the book, "The Price of Government" (the buzz among City Managers).
